I'd pick grille guard over the bull bar any day. I had one on my truck for several years until I was ready for a change

if I wasn't a broke college kid that would be what I would do no questions asked. Also since i'm at school I don't have access to a welder, so I can't fab one up which I'm plenty capable of doing.

if you want grill guard that is going to hold up. build it your self. that way you KNOW youre getting all the pieces that mount to the frame and brace points strong enough and correct.

ive been working on mine for a couple months now and not totally finished. and i think itll plow over just about anything.

well i bought that grill guard, and after messing with it for about an hour ive come to the conclusion that it does not fit my truck. the lines match up perfectly as far as the front. but unless I am missing something it just does not bolt up right. I guess ill try and fab something up to make it work.

the lower mounting points in the craigslist picture is not visible so I can't tell if it was made like mine or not.

I got it on. what do yall think? I think it will look a whole lot better when I get the valance on (tomorrow hopefully). i didnt bolt on the bottom two rails obviously because i still need to put my valance on. anyway for $100 you cant go wrong!!

So you figured out how to use the brackets?

It looks like its tipped towards your head lights a little to much.
